Is there anything more winsome than newly hatched Egyptian goslings?
Mama is quite a beauty too!
Germany has a wonderful selection of exotic birds swimming in their lakes and rivers.
Egyptian Geese originated in the Nile Valley and Africa, and were considered sacred by the Ancient Egyptians who first domesticated them.
People bought these geese as ornamental birds and many escaped, establishing feral colonies all over Western Europe.
I saw these beauties swimming in The Neckar River in Heidelberg during my April trip.

Cheers to you from The Holler, and from the hopefully, still-happily paddling geese in Germany~
